SlasherCast

This week's episode opens with a major announcement before Mike, Ted, and Dave jump into a review of the horror-comedy/80's slasher movie love-fest The Final Girls. This is a very special, stripped down episode with no Mike's News or anything else. Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening.  

It's finally here! After a long trek through the jungle of distribution hell, Eli Roth's The Green Inferno is finally ready for us to feast on, and boy were the guys ravenous to taste its many delights (except for Ted). Will this be an epicurean delight or fodder for Pepto Bismol. Only listening will answer that question for you. And remember to stick around to the very end for a special segment where Ted gives us his review of the movie too!         Also featured: Last Year by Jim O'Rourke  

Circle circle, dot dot, we finally are getting our Cooties shot. This time out, the guys catch up to see if the long awaited Elijah Wood produced and starring vehicle lives up to expectations. Plus, you get Mike's News (including some rants), an update on the future and a special surprise segment!        

This show starts with a surprising and unfortunate MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT about the show, so please tune in for that.  Then, the show begins and Slashercast covers the horror news that annoys them this week and they discuss the filmography of Wes Craven in light of his passing.  The review this week was Dave's pick, and he chose the Sci-Fi Horror Classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers from 1978. 

This week, the guys give you a review of what's touted as a solely practical effect movie, Harbinger Down, but the guys think something smells fishy there, and it's not just the crabs on the boat. Plus, you get Mike's News and a special list and some fond memorable memories to close things out. Not to be missed!        

This week, on a very special episode of SlasherCast, the guys exploit mourn the loss of Rowdy Roddy Piper by watching and reviewing the John Carpenter classic about aliens hiding among us (spoiler alert) They Live. This leads to some very prescient and surprising discussions about the greater meanings and implications the movie has, even for our modern world. It's a bit mind-blowing. Songs Featured in this episode: Kick Some Ass - Stroke 9 They Live, We Sleep - Fog of War They Live, We Sleep - The Black Noodle Project For Everybody - Rowdy Roddy Piper   Artwork by Nemons

This week the guys grab their popcorn and cotton-candy to goggle in amazement in wild wonder at the show of shows! 'Cuz who doesn't love a Clown, right? Well, maybe it depends on the clown. Join the fellas as they review Jon Watts's Clown (not Eli Roth's... he didn't direct it no matter how many sites print it that way). Also, you get a list, a somewhat controversial list at that, and a callback to earlier days. All this and more....  

Ever since the guys saw the trailer for L.A. Slasher, they've been waiting anxiously to watch it! Now, that time has come. Did ti match their expectations? Did it exceed them? Did it fail miserably? Can't say, but you will enjoy this discussion. A lot. Plus you get Mike's News and a brief debate about the state of trailers today and a super brief Is It Horror? with Mulholland Drive. It's all waiting you!
